The island of Krk is situated in northern Croatia, easily accessible by road from the city of Rijeka, the airport located on Krk itself. The island has many beaches and popular destinations such as pretty Vrbnik offer excursions within a 15-minute drive. The fortified town of Krk, with sights such as the Frankopan Castle, is only 20km from Klimno.Connected to the mainland by a huge bridge, the ‘Golden Isle’ of Krk is the largest island in Croatia. Sitting in the middle of Kvarner Bay, the island is lined with endless pebble beaches and is within easy reach of the city of Rijeka and the Italian and Slovenian borders.
Krk Town is a good place to get a feel for the island’s history. Among its main attractions are the Frankopan Castle which sits looking out to sea and offers particularly good views from its newly renovated 12th-century tower. Also of architectural interest are the town’s Cathedral of the Assumption and adjacent St Quirinus’ Church.
You can look forward to relaxing on Krk’s seafront promenade with its chilled cafés and bars, and if you visit in August, you may well catch the annual Krk Fair. Whenever you arrive, seek out the Volsonis bar to have a drink underground in an atmospheric Roman catacomb.
Elsewhere on the island, Baška is a popular choice for beach lovers, but in peak season that popularity can make the beautiful beach a very crowded one. Head east and you are likely to find some quieter spots. The area’s other attractions include St Lucy’s Church and the Church of St John the Baptist, or you could trek into the mountains for some invigorating hiking.
The delightful village of Vrbnik is the perfect place to try the local wine, Zlahtina, and to dine at some of the island’s best restaurants. Local cuisine is generally healthy, with plenty of fish, locally produced olive oil, fresh vegetables, and herbs among the staples of dishes commonly found on Krk menus.
The island is big on activity, offering a wide range of water sports such as scuba-diving, as well as quad biking, rock climbing, zip-lines and more. The Edison Zipline near Vrbnik is a big attraction that serves up some spectacular views as you descend.
Over the bridge, the city of Rijeka is the third largest in Croatia, and as such you will find all sorts going on. Whether you catch the annual summer festival or visit Trsat Castle, it’s well worth visiting this lively port. Rijeka offers good shopping on the busy Korzo, culture at the Ivan Zajc National Theatre and a free-to-enter Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
